Very knowledgeable
The tour was a 2 day trip with an overnight at a lodge. Day 1- lake Manyara & day 2 Ngorongoro Crater.
Informative tours set everything up very well, they were quick at replying to our questions and adjusted the tour to our preferences.
Our guide, Nixon was very good at not only the wildlife around but even about the culture and the Masai way of life.
Great value for money and one of the most budget-friendly tours. You get a lot for your money's worth!
Free t-shirts and beer and wine during the long drives were an added bonus!
They were very easy to deal with. They had great knowledge of the safari.
Safari. Com was a great company to deal with. However the lodge Hoyo Hoyo was quite run down. The staff were excellent and very helpful. However, for the price there were things that should be addressed. The pool was dirty, cloudy and unusable. The decking was in need of repairs and staining. The room had virtually no storage for travellers with suitcases. We had been travelling for 5 weeks and needed the cases. The room was dark and the bathroom was darker. The bed was comfortable. The food was generally good. Overall I would rate Hoyo Hoyo as a 3star property with some 5 star aspects.

Wonderful stay with great people!
We spent five days on the Tremosana Classic Safari at Tremosana Lodge, and we really enjoyed our stay. The lodge is clean; it may not be the most modern, but it has everything you need. The food was absolutely delicious every single day.
The rangers are more or less talkative, but if you ask questions, they are happy to share interesting details. In any case, both at the lodge and in the private reserve, as well as during the days in Kruger National Park, you can observe the animals very well.
Binoculars are definitely recommended, as well as a good camera with strong zoom, since the animals are usually seen from a distance. All in all, it was a wonderful stay, a great way to end our South Africa trip, and we would highly recommend it to anyone visiting South Africa who would like to go on a safari.

Elephant Herd Tours Turned Our Dream Safari Into a Lifetime Memory
From the very beginning, Elephant Herd Tours & Safari exceeded every expectation we had.
They were always punctual, extremely well organized, and genuinely caring. Every single person we interacted with was friendly, warm, and consistently went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and happy throughout the journey.
The places they chose for us to stay were absolutely magnificent, beautiful hotels and lodges that elevated the entire experience and made each day feel special and memorable.
One detail that truly touched us was how personal the service felt. Our tour coordinator even took the time to visit us at our hotel to meet us in person, which speaks volumes about how much they care about their guests and the experience they provide.
Thanks to Elephant Herd Tours, our 5-day tour through Kruger National Park, the Panorama Route, and a Private Reserve became an unforgettable adventure filled with incredible moments, breathtaking landscapes, and memories we will cherish forever.
If you are looking for a safari experience that is professional, personal, and truly exceptional, I cannot recommend Elephant Herd Tours & Safari enough.

Nugu is an exceptional safari guide passionate, attentive, and turning every moment into pure magic!
During this amazing tour we learned so much thanks to our guide, Nugu. We saw a lot of animals (facochere, lions, hippos, giraffes…) but must of all we learned so much about the wild life and the Tanzanian culture and lifestyle. It is really reliable, kind, they take care of every detail you should just do it. But the perfect safari will never exist without Nugu. He is the best one, ask the company, he will guide you and make you love the wildlife, trust me. Stop hesitating, just book and ask for nugu.

Lovely nature and tour, but rather badly organized
Unfortunately I can't give a rating that is too well.
First of all, we booked this tour as it promised an early-morning gamedrive in Amboseli, which unfortunately did not happen. When reaching out to the office, they did not even apologize.
Moreover, the organization of the tour was rather bad. It always took forever dropping all the people of at the different camps, and the people were told super weird times for pickup. The next camp was not even 5 min away from ours, but they told them to be ready 20 min later than us. So no wonder that we then had to wait for 15 min at there camp.
Moreover, during our trip, basically all the people changed in between, so you always had new people join in.
Also the end was quite annonying, as everyone was brought to their hotel in Nairobi, instead of bringing everyone to the office first, and then bringing them to the hotels from there (as was done on the first day).

Once in a Lifetime Experience
We just a finished a 9-day Safari with JourneyMark and it was like a dream. We did a private safari since we wanted to enjoy the drives on our own time. David was our guide and driver and we honestly couldn't ask for anyone better. He would explain everything to us and was very sharp in the game drives and knew exactly where and when to go. Also a great photographer! The car was also very good and comfortable and got us through muddy roads very easily. Also has a free WIFI and a cooler! We would do early morning and evening game drives every day. Not very crowded during this time of the year. The scenery and drives were just exceptional. Every part of the country was different and you never get bored. We did Amboseli, Samburu, Nakura, Naivasha, and Masai Mara. Samburu and Masai Mara were my favorites. We got to see all the big 5 and all the special 5. Overall, I couldn't recommend a Safari with JourneyMark enough! You will not regret it!
